Is it safe for my puppy to get a vaccine while on ringworm meds?

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. The vaccination should not overwhelm his immune system enough to be worried about the ringworm worsening. As long as he is on treatment for the ringworm and it doesn't worsen after the vaccine, he should be absolutely fine. It sounds like he is not on treatment so I would make sure to contact the vet who last saw him so that you can start treatment if this is ringworm. There is a chance this is not ringworm at all and just an areas Kochi scratched at as well. I have vaccinated cats with skin infections and ringworm before and have never noticed that the infection worsened. There is always the possibility that it could worsen, but in my experience, this is not very common for it to worsen after receiving a vaccination. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions or concerns you may have.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If she is doing well and you proceed to vaccinate and deworm her now then that would be fine. As long s it gets done then it should not have any longterm consequences. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! VetCo, which is the vaccination services offered at some PetCo's, doesn't treat illnesses or skin conditions. It is a WELLNESS clinic, so they only see healthy pets with out any issues. I recommend seeing a Vet at a hospital or clinic for Mia's skin issues. It is possible that it is a skin infection. If you want to post a picture we'd be happy to help you. Have a great day!

Hello, Concurrent administration of cephalexin will most likely not have any effect on the vaccine, however if the puppy is unwell the vaccination may worsen his condition and the vaccination may not be effective. Summing up, I would vaccinate Milo (ideally with a vaccine for distemper/parvo only) if he is clinically well and if there is a high chance of getting distemper. If Milo has fever, is off food or if he is clinically unwell I would not vaccinate. I hope this will help, however please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hello, No, vaccines shouldn't be done in a pet that is experiencing diarrhea. I'd recommend rescheduling his vaccinations for when he is feeling better. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Yes, you can, no problems with that. Your vet can prescribe a good product which will treat both round and tapeworms.

Yes it is but it is best to give it 24hours after shots. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
